Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0135848A1] The invention relates to an image recording device to be used in a sterile area for visually monitoring and documenting a surgical intervention to be performed on the human or animal body within a predetermined operative field. Said image recording device comprises a camera system and an image-recording optical system coupled with said camera system. Said optical system can be freely positioned together with the camera system outside the body in such a manner that the optical system defines a recorded area that includes at least the operative field. The invention is further characterized in that the optical system is configured as an optical endoscope that comprises at least one optical transmission channel whose distal end can be spatially positioned outside the body opposite the operative field. Said optical transmission channel is surrounded by a casing that is mechanically stable to such an extent that the optical system can be actuated on the casing for the purpose of positioning it. In the range of its proximal end the optical system can be connected to a positioning and holding device by means of which the optical system can be swiveled and spatially fixed in a substantially free manner.
